Uncanny Kenna Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Congratulations to all of you beautiful, talented people! I also got my good news today. After being rejected from Colorado, Brown, Pittsburgh, Florida, and Oregon, I finally heard back from Middle Tennessee and I'm in. Two days ago, my fiance and I had literally decided to just say "fuck it" and move to Burlington to open a Viking-themed brewery (that's still our ten year plan, no worries). Again, congrats to anyone else! doc1 and goldfinch1880 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, congrats to anyone else! Congratulations! And if you're talking about Burlington, Vermont, I can affirm that a Viking-themed brewery would fit right in. The whole damned state is hop-crazy. I will say that hard cider seems to be the coming thing.... mikers86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmt Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Since there's not a separate thread for this, I'll say here that I became a complete fanboy when speaking with my prospective advisor at UMD just now. She's all kinds of awesome, and I'm very excited to work with her, but it's a bit embarrassing in retrospect.

In my (admittedly limited) experience with graduate professors, enthusiasm tends to breed enthusiasm. I wouldn't worry too much about it!

PhDerson Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 On 3/27/2015 at 1:22 PM, wetheplants said: Welp, I got into Dartmouth's MALS program!!! Anyone know much about their reputation? (Are they considered another cash cow like UChicago's MAPH?) this program is basically a waste of time and money. The Dartmouth reputation really doesn't extend to this non-degree. I attended the program and definitely regret it. The classes are a joke and fail in comparison to regular Dartmouth undergrad or grad school courses. Had some friends who went on to PhD's - but I believe they could have and would have anyway without this aimless pit stop. aside from the cost, disregard by the academic community, uselessness of the degree and cost (did I mention the cost?), basic lack of admission standards - the worst part is that you don't graduate with a group of like minded peers in a professional track, you are a herd of cats. useless. Either get into a real master's program in a subject or don't go to grad school. Whatever you do - don't do this program (OR ANY other MALS program at any school in the world). portia_of_belmont 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
